'''Poisoned''' is a [[Free software|free]] [[peer-to-peer]] [[file sharing]] client for [[Mac OS X]], whose name is an allusion to the [[German language|German]] word ''Gift'' (''poison'' in English). Started by Silvio Rizzi on [[May 26]] [[2003]], it is a [[Front-end and back-end|front-end]] to [[giFT]], and currently supports the [[OpenFT]], [[FastTrack]], [[Gnutella]] and [[Ares Galaxy|Ares]] protocols. For access to these typically separate networks, Poisoned uses third-party plugins. It is available under the [[GNU General Public License]]. It is not currently a [[Universal binary|Universal binary]].
== Controversy ==
Another [[peer-to-peer]] software, [[XFactor]] had lifted portions of Poisoned's [[Source Code]] without following the [[GNU General Public License]] guidelines. Since disclosure XFactor has removed the offending code. <ref> [http://gottsilla.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2163&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0] [[Poisoned|Poisoned's Forums]], Originally posted [[Jan 17]], [[2005]] </ref>
